Cuban Rhythms
Each night you will stay in a mix of converted colonial properties and comfortable modern hotels, several of which benefit from views of the Caribbean Sea. Colonial properties recall the splendours of a bygone age while the more recently built accommodation often features facilities such as a swimming pool. Rooms are en suite.
In Santa Clara, where the revolution finally succeeded you'll visit Che Guevara's mausoleum and see his iconic beret and leather jacket. Sleepy Trinidad presents a perfectly preserved colonial town of brightly coloured buildings and cobblestone streets whilst Santiago & the first town founded in Cuba and where the revolution is thought to have started & is steeped in musical traditions. You'll end with a chance to relax on a Caribbean beach. Step into the past as you explore the sights of Havana, with its old colonial buildings and 50s cars. You'll experience Cuba's vibrant journey from Spanish dominion to Castro's socialist revolution whilst music seems to spill from almost every door. In Vinales walk through a lush countryside of rock outcrops and tobacco fields and take the time to experience rural life. Heading east you'll take in the Bay of Pigs, made famous by the failed US backed invasion, before arriving at Cienfuegos.
